Sanest Man in Congress Resigns

Considering the shenanigans taking place in Washington, DC at the moment, the man who appears to be our sanest legislator has announced his resignation.

Seven-term Congressman David Wu (D-Oregon) is stepping down after being accused of engaging in "aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior" with the 18 year-old daughter of a longtime friend and campaign contributor.

October 29, 2010: A traveler files a complaint with the Transportation Security Administration after Wu manages to convince a TSA employee let him into a restricted area of the Portland airport to try to convince de-planing passengers to vote for him. The outburst was followed two days later by an episode at Portland International Airport, where Wu used his influence as a member of Congress to enter a restricted area and campaign for votes from off-loading passengers.

Good thing he'll be sticking around to see the debt ceiling issue through -- we wouldn't want to rely on any other current legislators to get this one right.
